The owner of this bicycle will be disappointed to see his wheel missing @ St. Michel fountain. |
What a day....raining and underground train under repair. |
From St. Michel station we went to another station for another train SNCF (double decker) to Versailles a bit outskirt of central Paris. |
Versailles Train Station. |
A posh hotel on the way to the Palace of Versailles. |
Approaching the Palace.... with modern sculpture at the entrance. |
Even the horses have good accommodation back during King Louis IV's time. |
Our Tour Guide, Linda from Sandemans New Europe. |
This was the fencing where the angry common women came in thousands to tear down and got hold of Queen Marie Antoinette and sent back to Paris for execution. |
The Grand Apartments of those days is under now refurbishment. |
This is the back yard of the Palace, the mega garden of Versailles. |
Too big & you can easily get lost in this gigantic garden. |
Time for a break before the second half of the tour. |
Everywhere looks the same green, green, fountain and many fountains. |
The musical fountain of Versailles.
Coming back from the garden and going up the steps leading to the Palace. |
And you see this beautiful and meticulously manicured garden next to the palace. |
Bye bye Versailles |
That's it for the day and back to Montmantre for a simple dinner and tomorrow will be another day.
